Brooklyn the planet...
Growing up
Project struck
Looking for luck dreaming
Scoping the large nikkas beaming
Check what am I seeing
Cars
Ghetto stars pushing ill Europeans

Heard about those old timers OD-ing
Young
Early 80s
Through rocks at the crazy lady
Worshiping every word those rope rocking nikkas gave me
The streets raised me up
Giving a fukk
I thought Jordans and a gold chain was living it up
